CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:

DESCRIPTION:
Aesthetico has reported a vulnerability in SocketMail, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "site_path" parameter in "index.php" and
"inc-common.php" is not properly verified, before it is used to
include files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by
including files from external resources.

Successful exploitation reportedly requires that "register_globals"
is enabled.

The vulnerability has been reported in the following versions:
* SocketMail Lite 2.2.6
* SocketMail Pro 2.2.6

Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
